[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1646467, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. As you have spotted the GPs and DNs have a belief in Metformin being miracle diabetes cure - it isn't. It only ever has a small effect on blood sugar together with some other small protective properties; it is a very safe drug. I have taken it for 14 years now partly to keep the DN happy (!) and as it has no downside for me. I do have the Slow Release (SR) version but many can tolerate the standard version after a week or two of bowel problems which a few have. I did have a metallic taste for 6 months which I haven't seen mentioned on the forum recently. This happens to a few of us and is part of the appetite suppression mechanism but that fades completely.
